I hatched a peep this morning that has yet to absorb the yolk sac. I know it will absorb in time... but was wondering if its ok to take out of the incubator and put in the brooder box with the rest, before it's completely absorbed?
I hatched 7 peeps in the beginning of July. All seemed well until a few weeks ago. The first one came down with splayed leg at about 4 weeks, then #2 did the same thing about a week later. Brought them both inside and treated them and both got better, up and walking in less than a week. #3 came...
I have a 4 week old chick that all of a sudden quit standing and walking. She seems to stick her legs out in all different directions. She is still ok otherwise, eating drinking, pooping etc. I've read up on leg issues with very young chicks (1 - 2 days old), but haven't seen much on older ones...
